Description
- This application claims priority to German Patent Application No. 10 2011 054 235.3, filed Oct. 6, 2011.
- The invention relates to a lighting device for vehicles with a plurality of light sources and an optic unit to generate a predetermined light distribution, with the optic unit comprising at least one optic area held via holding means in a predetermined assem-bly position.
- A lighting device for vehicles is known from DE 10 2008 005 488 A1 comprising a number of light sources arranged like a matrix. An optic unit is arranged in front of the light sources comprising a light forming optic unit. A pre-optic unit is arranged between the light forming optic unit and the light sources comprising a plate provided with fine-structured elements. These fine-structured elements allow a spreading of the light emitted by the light sources so that a homogenization of the distribution of light intensity is possible. It has been shown, though, that it is desirable for optic areas to extend perpendicular to the level of light generation in order to adjust light emitted by light sources arranged at a certain distance from each other to the light forming optic unit.
- The objective of the present invention is therefore to further develop a lighting device for vehicles with light sources arranged like a matrix in reference to each other such that a robust and simply assembled arrangement is possible of optic areas extending in the primary direction of emission, particularly to homogenize the light distribution.
- In order to attain this objective in connection with the preamble of
claim 1 the invention is characterized such that a transparent substrate with a number of grooves is provided as holding means so that an edge of the optic area can be inserted into the groove. - The invention allows a robust and technically easily handled holding arrangement of particularly planar optic surfaces provided to reflect light emitted by light sources. The optic areas rest and are fastened in a groove of a transparent substrate. The optic surface is arranged perpendicular in reference to the transparent substrate. The trans-parent substrate may be easily fastened with its flat side, free from grooves, at the arrangement of light sources. Due to the fact that the edges of the optic surface immerse in the groove of the transparent substrate the edges of the optic area are arranged in a protected fashion. The transparent substrate as well as at least one optic surface preferably form a pre-optic unit for the light formation.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the grooves of the transparent substrate extend intersecting, so that respectively cross-wise arranged optic surfaces, for example for homogenization of the light from light sources arranged like a matrix, can be easily assembled in one step and safely held in the assembled position.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the groove of the transparent substrate shows such a groove width that the optic surface is held in the groove in a clamped fashion. This way a simple and cost-effective assembly is possible.
- According to a further development of the invention the optic area shows two opposite reflective flat sides so that a band grid with recesses is formed integrated in the transparent substrate with light sources each being allocated thereto. Advantageously here a homogenization of the light and/or an increase of the light efficiency can be provided here.
- According to a further development of the invention the transparent substrate comprises a glass material, preferably provided by masking and etching with the grooves for accepting the optic area.
- These aspects are merely illustrative of the innumerable aspects associated with the present invention and should not be deemed as limiting in any manner. These and other aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the referenced drawings.
- Reference is now made more particularly to the drawings, which illustrate the best presently known mode of carrying out the invention and wherein similar reference characters indicate the same parts throughout the views.

FIG. 1 A schematic side view of a lighting device, -
FIG. 2 a perspective illustration of cross-wise arranged optic surfaces before they are connected to the transparent substrate, -
FIG. 3 a perspective illustration of a transparent substrate with cross-wise grooves formed thereat, -
FIG. 4 a a perspective illustration of a transparent substrate with a transparent lid being allocated thereto, and -
FIG. 4 b an illustration of the substrates according toFIG. 4 a with the boundary lines of the grooves being depicted. - In the following detailed description numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. For example, the invention is not limited in scope to the particular type of industry application depicted in the figures. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the present invention.
- The lighting device according to the invention for vehicles is preferably used in head-lights to generate a controlled distribution of high beams, in which to avoid undesired blinding of vehicular objects in the area in front of the headlights preferably by switching off respective light sources some lit areas of the light distributed can be switched off.
- The lighting device essentially comprises a number of matrix-like arranged light sources (light source matrix) 1 and an
optic unit 3 arranged in the primary direction oflight emission 2 in front of thelight source matrix 1, comprising a light forming optic unit 4 and apre-optic unit 5. The light forming optic unit 4 comprises afirst lens 6 and asecond lens 7, arranged off-set in reference to each other in the primary direction ofemission 2. - The
pre-optic unit 5 is arranged between the light forming optic unit 4 and thelight source matrix 1 directly following thelight source matrix 1. Thepre-optic unit 5 essentially comprises atransparent substrate 8 connected to a plurality ofplanar band elements 9. - The
planar band elements 9 each comprise opposite highly reflectiveflat sides 9′, 9″ and are arranged like a grid in lines and columns extending perpendicular in reference thereto. Theplanar band elements 9 are each embodied comb-like and showlateral slots 10 by which afirst band element 9 each can be connected and/or plugged to anotherband element 9 extending perpendicular in reference thereto. The band grid composed from theband elements 9 is shown inFIG. 2 . - The
transparent substrate 8 is embodied plate-shaped and comprises a glass material.Grooves 11 are formed on a firstflat side 8′ extending cross-wise, which correspond in their dimension to edges of the band grid formed by theband elements 9. In the embodiment according toFIG. 3 threehorizontal grooves 11′, and fivevertical grooves 11″ are provided, so that a respective band grid with 3×5band elements 9 can be inserted into thegrooves 11. Theband elements 9 are inserted such that a long edge thereof immerses in thegroove 11. - The
grooves 11 show a groove depth tN smaller than a thickness dS of thetransparent substrate 8 so that the grid-shaped arrangedband elements 9 cannot be passed through to reach aflat side 8″ of thesubstrate 8 free from grooves. - The
grooves 11 show a groove width nB so that theband elements 9 are held in thegroove 11 in a clamped fashion. Alternatively the groove width nB can also be selected of such a size that theband elements 9 can engage the groove with play and are then held in the assembled position via an adhesive. - In the assembled state of the
band elements 9 they limit with theirflat sides 9′, 9″ arecess 12, with its axis being parallel in reference to the primary direction ofemission 2 and/or perpendicular to thelight generation level 13 stretched by thelight sources 1. Theflat sides 9′, 9″ of theband elements 9 therefore form highly reflective optic surfaces extending parallel in reference to the optic axis of thelight sources 1. They allow a multiple reflection of the light emitted by the light sources before the light reaches the light forming optic unit 4. Preferably thepre-optic unit 5 formed from thetransparent substrate 8 and theband elements 9 is arranged directly adjacent to thelight source matrix 1. Preferably theflat side 8″ free from grooves is arranged at a side facing thelight source matrix 1, while theflat side 8′ comprising grooves is arranged on a side facing the light forming optic unit 4. - The grid-shaped groove structures of the
transparent substrate 8 may be produced by way of lithography using masking and etching. Thetransparent substrate 8 preferably comprises a glass material. - In an alternative embodiment of the invention according to
FIGS. 4 a and 4 b thepre-optic unit 5 can also be formed by a combination of thetransparent substrate 8 and atransparent lid 18. Thetransparent lid 18 also shows a cross-wise structure withgrooves 19 matching thegrooves 11 of thesubstrate 8 so that an elevated portion of theband elements 9, inserted in the firsttransparent substrate 8, can be accepted. In the assembled state theflat sides 8′ of thefirst substrate 8 provided withgrooves 11 directly and planarly contact theflat side 18′ of thetransparent lid 18 provided withgrooves 19. Thus a compact and robust pre-opticunit 5′ develops, with theband grid 9 being arranged protected therein. - According to an alternative embodiment not shown the
band elements 9 can also be inserted entirely in thegrooves 11 and covered with a lid free from grooves. - For the assembly
individual band elements 9 are connected to each other and/or plugged together cross-wise by engaging respectivelateral slots 10. Subsequently the band grid formed this way is inserted in a single processing step into thegrooves 11 of thetransparent substrate 8. If applicable, then thetransparent lid 18 also provided withgrooves 19 can be placed onto thetransparent substrate 8 with an aligned arrangement of thegrooves 19 to theband grid 9 and, for example, connected thereto by way of adhesion. - The light sources are embodied as LED light sources and/or as LED chips, to be stretched together in the
light generation level 13. Thelight generation level 13 is arranged perpendicular in reference to the optic axis of theoptic unit 3. - The preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above to explain the principles of the invention and its practical application to thereby enable others skilled in the art to utilize the invention in the best mode known to the inventors. However, as various modifications could be made in the constructions and methods herein described and illustrated without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the foregoing description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative rather than limiting.
